            Bug ID: 104470
           Summary: Dell xps 13 8th gen: synaptics touchpad too slow and
                    palm detection basically not working
           Product: Wayland
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: Other
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: libinput
          Assignee: wayland-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: crap at rmm.li

I hope that's the right place to report that, I'm using xorg, not wayland under
debian.
libinput:  1.9.4-2
xserver-xorg-input-libinput 0.26.0-1
dmesg tells me about the device:
 synaptics: Touchpad model: 1, fw: 8.2, id: 0x1e2a1, caps:
0xf00323/0x840300/0x12e800/0x0, board id: 3038, fw id: 2375007

Even when set the acceleration too 1.0, it still moves the  pointer way too
slow (for me).
I don't know exactly how you implemented that acceleration thing, but can't you
just make an acceleration of +1 absolutely incredible insanly fast! 
so then users can find their own acceleration like 0.732? or just allow
accelerations bigger than 1?
This will relieve you from bugreports like this one in the future ;-).

The palm detection is not working reliable on that device. When I try it out in
indentionaly it works, but when I write texts, maybe once per minute it gets a
click and resets the focus, which is incredibly annoying. It also seems to
register a click a lot of times, when I move my right hand from the touchpad
back to the keyboard.

The touchpad is supposed to register a middle click, when I do a click in the
middle, between the left and right mouse pointer. Sometimes it works, mostly it
doesn't (I'm not sure if that is a software or hardware issue). Most of the
times I hit left or right button when trying to do  that, the area to register
that click is waaay to small. When working with low light it's even practically
impossible to hit the right spot.

at least until I get an usuable mouse speed I'll go back to input-synaptics.
